New SSS contribution payment schedule for farmers, fisherfolk, self-employed persons in the informal economy to start soon

The Social Security System (SSS) encourages all farmers, fisherfolk, and other self-employed persons in the informal economy to register with SSS and pay their contributions under a new and more flexible schedule.

SSS President and Chief Executive Officer Michael G. Regino said the new contribution payment scheme would allow farmers, fisherfolk, and other self-employed individuals in the informal economy to pay contributions for any of the last twelve (12) months in the current month.

“We want to help our farmers and fishermen to have social security coverage from SSS. They are among the most vulnerable members of our society. By offering them a flexible way of paying their SSS premiums, we provide them greater opportunity to pay social security contributions for all months of a year for full protection through the various benefit and loan programs of SSS,” Regino said.

Regino said that if a farmer pays his SSS contributions on October 28, 2022, under the new program, he can still pay his monthly contributions in the past 12 months before October 2022 or from October 2021 to September 2022.

Regino said that under the existing payment deadline of remittances, self-employed members such as farmers, and fisherfolk who will pay their contributions on October 31, 2022 can only pay their monthly contributions for July to September 2022.

“We saw that the current payment schedule for self-employed members, which also includes farmers and fisherfolk, is not suitable for them,” he said.

He explained that SSS had set a new contribution payment scheme aligned with the harvesting seasons of the farmers and fisherfolks. Based on a study by SSS, farmers and fisherfolk usually have two harvesting seasons in a year and about four to five lean months.

“Our farmers and fisherfolk do not have a regular monthly income from their produce, unlike ordinary workers. They only get their earnings on a seasonal basis, so we devised this scheme that allows them to pay their SSS contributions for all months in a year,” Regino said.

He added that self-employed SSS members are entitled to social security benefits such as sickness, maternity, retirement, disability, funeral, and death. They also qualify for loan programs, including salary, calamity, and educational assistance.

Aside from SSS coverage, the SSS chief said self-employed members also have additional coverage from the Employees’ Compensation (EC) Program for work-related contingencies.

Regino said they could pay their SSS contributions through digital payment platforms such as the SSS Mobile App, Bayad or GCash mobile apps, and ShopeePay. “They also have the option to pay through the internet banking facility of the Security Bank and Union Bank of the Philippines as long as they have an existing deposit account with the said banks.

The latest data from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) showed that the country has 9.4 million self-employed skilled agricultural, forestry, and fishery workers. Of these, Regino said there are only about 636,000 registered with SSS.

SSS expands contribution payment options via mobile app, other online channels

The Social Security System (SSS) announced on Monday that contribution payments can conveniently be coursed through the SSS Mobile App and other online payment channels.

SSS President and CEO Michael G. Regino said that under the said app, individual members (self-employed, voluntary, non-working spouse, and land-based Overseas Filipino Worker) may pay their contributions using their GCash, PayMaya, or Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) account, or debit/credit card.

Apart from this, individual members may also use the mobile app and website of other SSS’ accredited collecting partners, such as Robinsons Bank Corporation (RBC), Security Bank Corporation (SBC) – SBOL, Union Bank of the Philippines (UBP), AltPayNet, CIS Bayad Center, Inc. (CBCI), GCash, and PayMaya.

“We encourage our members and employers to pay their contributions using our online channels as through these payment facilities, they no longer have to go to our branches. These can be accessed at the safety and convenience of their homes or offices,” Regino said.

On the other hand, business and household employers have online payment options, which include the SBC – Digibanker (https://sbcdigibanker.securitybank.com/portal), and UBP (https://www.unionbankph.com), including its UnionBank Online App.

Business employers may also use the BPI – Bizlink (https://www.bpibizlink.com), and BancNet’s eGov facility through its 19 participating banks.

Moreover, Auto Debit Arrangement is available for all types of payors through the BPI, Country Builders Bank (CBB), First Consolidated Bank, Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company (Metrobank), and Philippine National Bank (PNB).

Dependent legal spouses who are SSS members may now submit their death benefit claims online

Social Security System (SSS) President and CEO Michael G. Regino announced on Wednesday that dependent legal spouses who are also existing SSS members may submit their Social Security (SS) and Employees’ Compensation (EC) death benefit claims online through the My.SSS Portal.

“The inclusion of death benefit application on our list of online services is part of the digital transformation efforts of SSS to ensure that our services are readily accessible 24/7. Applicants are required to enroll their disbursement accounts in the My.SSS Portal for the cashless release of benefits to the rightful recipients,” Regino said.

Qualified dependent legal spouses of deceased SSS members are those who have not re-married, cohabited or entered in “live-in” relationships before or after the members’ death.

However, Regino further clarified that special conditions wherein claimants have dependent child/children, member's date of death does not match the contingency date of settled funeral claim, with in-process/settled death benefit claim, member's death is caused by work-related illness which requires further medical evaluation under EC death benefit program, with invalid membership coverage of the deceased member, need to file their claims over the counter.

“In consideration of the nature of how we process death benefit claims especially in establishing the rightful beneficiaries and ensuring correct payment, there are cases of claim applications that still need to be filed over the counter for thorough screening and evaluation,” Regino concluded.

SSS to launch two new programs to benefit informal economy workers and other individually-paying members

Social Security System (SSS) President and CEO Michael G. Regino announced on Monday that two new programs, the flexible payment schedule and the Contribution Subsidy Provider Program (CSPP), are set to be launched in July to help ensure the social security protection of the informal economy workers and other individually-paying members.

The planned payment schedule for the said types of workers will provide a longer payment window for them, where contributions for any of the last twelve (12) applicable months may still be paid in the current month, so they can avoid missing applicable months that may qualify them for SSS benefits and loans.

“Considering that crops and fishery products have their harvest seasons, we are looking to implement a more workable payment schedule for farmers, fishermen, and other self-employed persons in the informal economy. We recognize the unique situation of our informal economy workers and we are coming up with the appropriate payment program to make SSS more inclusive to as many fellow Filipinos.” Regino said.

“Another program is the Contribution Subsidy Provider Program (CSPP), wherein the SSS may enter into a partnership arrangement with potential contribution subsidy providers among private and government entities who will pay contributions on behalf of selected self-employed workers, land-based Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), and voluntary members of the SSS,” Regino said.

The minimum period of subsidy under the CSPP is six consecutive calendar applicable months.

The results of a nationwide survey commissioned by the SSS that was conducted in the second semester of 2021 showed that there is a misconception among those in the informal economy and last-mile communities that SSS membership is only for those formally employed. Also, some of the challenges for members identified in the survey are the sustainability and payment of correct contributions, which are more likely for those in the informal economy.

“Filipino workers need social security institutions such as the SSS to provide them and their families with a layer of protection against the hazards of disability, sickness, maternity, old age, death, and other contingencies resulting in loss of income. We hope that through these two programs, we may be able to extend our benefit and loan programs to those in the informal economy, gig economies, and last-mile communities,” Regino said.

More information on these two programs will be available soon at www.sss.gov.ph and other SSS social media channels.

Online filing ng retirement claim ng mga Self-employed Members edad 60 hanggang 64, mandatory na simula July 1

Inanunsyo ni Social Security System (SSS) President CEO Michael G. Regino na simula Hulyo 1, 2022 ay sakop na ng mandatory online filing ng retirement benefit ang mga self-employed members na may edad na 60 hanggang 64 taong gulang.

Nauna nang ipinatupad noong Hulyo 2020 ang mandatory online filing ng retirement benefit ng lahat ng employed members, voluntary members, land-based Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) members at self-employed members na may edad 65 taong gulang pataas.

“Simula pa noong 2015 ay naging available na ang ating online facility para sa mga miyembrong nasa technical retirement age na 65. Sa simula pa lang ng pandemiya, may mga enhancements na kaming ginagawa para mas simple at maginhawa ang kanilang pagpafile na hindi na nila kinakailangang pang sumadya sa mga sangay ng SSS. Ang kailangan lang nilang gawin ay i-access ang kanilang My.SSS account, i-click ang Apply for Retirement Benefit sa ilalim ng Benefits section ng E-Services tab, punan ang mga kailangang impormasyon, at isumite ang mga required supporting documents,” pahayag ni Regino.

Ang mga miyembrong may mga sumusunod na “special cases” sa benepisyo sa pagreretiro ay dapat pa ring pumunta at mag-file sa alinmang sangay ng SSS o foreign representative office:

• May natitirang balanse sa Stock Investment Loan Program (SILP)/ Privatization Loan Program/ Educational Loan/ Vocational Technology Loan;
• May anak/mga anak na nasa ilalim ng kanilang pangangalaga;
• Kung saan ang miyembro ay walang kakayahan, nasa ilalim ng pangangalaga, o nakakulong sa isang naaangkop na institusyon tulad ng penitentiary, correctional institution, o rehabilitation center;
• May aplikasyon ng Portability Law o Bilateral Social Security Agreements;
• May adjustment o may re-adjudication ng claim; at
• May hindi nakuhang benepisyo ng isang namatay na miyembro

Ang retirement benefit ay isang cash benefit na ibinibigay sa isang miyembro na hindi na makakapagtrabaho dahil sa katandaan at umabot na sa itinakdang edad ng pagreretiro. Ang kanyang benepisyo ay maaaring buwanang pensiyon para sa mga nagbayad ng hindi bababa sa 120 buwanang kontribusyon bago ang semestre ng pagreretiro o isang bigayan (lump sum) para sa mga nagbayad ng mas mababa sa 120 na kontribusyon. Maaaring ma-access ang mga kwalipikasyon para makapag-apply sa benepisyo para sa pagreretiro sa https://crms.sss.gov.ph habang ang mga alituntunin at patakaran sa online filing ng nasabing benepisyo sa pamamagitan ng My.SSS Portal ay makikita sa https://bit.ly/SSSCI2021-021.

Social Security System (SSS) President and CEO Michael G. Regino said the coverage of the mandatory online filing of retirement benefit claims through the My.SSS Portal will be extended to self-employed members who are 60 to 64 years old starting July 1, 2022.

This is in addition to all employee-members, voluntary members, land-based Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) members, and self-employed members aged 65 years old and above at the time of retirement who were required to file online effective July 2020.

“As early as 2015, we have made this online facility available to our members who have reached their technical retirement age of 65 years old. With the onset of the pandemic, we have continuously enhanced this online facility to provide our members with a simpler and more convenient mode of application without physically going to our branches. All they need to do is to access their My.SSS account, click Apply for Retirement Benefit under the Benefits section of the E-Services tab, fill out the required information, and submit the required supporting documents,” Regino said.

Members with the following special cases on retirement benefit claims should still file manually at any SSS branch or foreign representative office:

• With outstanding Stock Investment Loan Program (SILP)/Privatization Loan Program/Educational Loan/Vocational Technology Loan balance;
• With dependent child/children under guardianship;
• Wherein member is incapacitated, under guardianship, or confined in an applicable institution such as penitentiary, correctional institution, or rehabilitation center;
• With Application of Portability Law or Bilateral Social Security Agreements;
• With adjustment or for re-adjudication of claim; and
• With the unclaimed benefit of a deceased member.

The retirement benefit is a cash benefit granted to a member who can no longer work due to old age and has reached the prescribed retirement age. It can be in the form of a monthly pension for those who have paid at least 120 monthly contributions prior to the semester of retirement or a lump sum for those who have paid less than 120 contributions. The qualifying conditions for the retirement benefit program can be accessed at https://crms.sss.gov.ph while the guidelines and policies on the online filing of said benefit claim through the My.SSS Portal can be found at https://bit.ly/SSSCI2021-021.
